His Hidden Luna
Aria Hale once believed the Moon Goddess had blessed her when she found her fated mate. But the night Alpha Kael Blackthorn rejected her before his entire pack, her world shattered. She had come to the Silver Crest Pack with nothing but courage and hope, an orphan from a destroyed clan, dreaming of a place to belong. Instead, she was branded unworthy, her heart torn apart by the man destiny had chosen for her.
Kael was power and pride wrapped in human form, a leader who feared weakness more than death. He convinced himself that love was a burden he could not afford, that tenderness would destroy the Alpha he was meant to be. So when fate placed a gentle, broken girl in his path, he turned away. He broke the bond and drove her from his territory, believing that rejection would set him free.
He was wrong.
Years passed, but her scent of lavender haunted him through every battle and every sleepless night. His wolf mourned for what had been lost. He told himself she was gone, but the ache never faded. Somewhere deep inside, Kael knew that part of him had died the moment she walked away.
Far from his reach, hidden in a quiet human valley called Mistwood, Aria built a new life. She healed others with her herbs and her kindness, raising a secret that carried both her heart and her pain — a boy with golden eyes and the same strength she once saw in his father. She named him Liam, and he became her reason to breathe.

Chapter: Return to the Alpha’s DenThe gates of Silver Crest rose like black sentinels against the dawn. Cold stone. Silent guards. The kind of silence that watched, not welcomed. Aria’s fingers tightened around the reins as they rode closer. Every hoofbeat echoed with ghosts she thought she’d buried long ago.The air here still smelled the same — pine, earth, and iron. It was the scent of her past. The scent of betrayal.Kael rode beside her, expression unreadable. His men flanked them, armored in silver and discipline. None dared speak. The Alpha’s presence alone kept the air heavy and still. When the massive gates creaked open, the crowd that had gathered outside fell into stunned whispers.“Is that her?” one voice hissed.“The rogue he rejected?”“And the child—”Kael’s glare silenced the last whisper. But it was too late. The words hung between them like knives.Aria held Liam close as they passed through the courtyard. Eyes followed their every move — shock, curiosity, disdain. Each stare felt like a burn against

Chapter: The Road to Silver CrestThe wind carried the scent of blood and smoke long after the battle ended. Mistwood, once peaceful, now felt like a graveyard. The morning light struggled through the trees as Aria watched Kael wipe the last traces of the fight from his hands. His jaw tightened, his every movement sharp with silent fury.He turned toward her, his golden eyes glinting in the dim light. “We have to leave. Now.”Aria stood by the doorway, clutching the small satchel she had packed for Liam. Inside were herbs, a few coins, and the old silver pendant she once wore as a girl. Leaving the only home she had built in six years tore at her, but the fear in Kael’s voice left no room for hesitation.“Where will we go?” she asked softly.“Silver Crest,” he said. “It is the only place I can keep you both safe.”Her eyes narrowed. “The same place where you broke me?”A shadow crossed his expression, almost pain. “That was a mistake I intend to spend my life fixing.”Before she could reply, a sleepy voice came from i

Chapter: Shadows and SecretsThe sun had barely risen when the quiet valley began to stir. Mist curled along the riverbanks, and the scent of damp earth hung thick in the air. Birds scattered from the trees as hooves thundered down the narrow road. The Silver Crest warriors moved like a silent storm through Mistwood, their armor catching brief flashes of gold in the pale light.At their head rode Alpha Kael Blackthorn, his eyes cold and unreadable. Every muscle in his body was coiled tight, every breath controlled. He had not slept — could not sleep. The night before had been a blur of questions and memories he couldn’t silence.Every thought had led back to her.To Aria.To the boy with golden eyes.The resemblance had been too strong, too exact. Every part of him screamed the truth, but saying it aloud would make it real — and Kael wasn’t sure he was ready for that.He stopped at the edge of the forest, dismounting his horse in one swift motion.“Stay back,” he ordered his men. His voice was quiet but carried t

Chapter: The Scent of the PastSix years later, the valley of Mistwood awoke to the hum of life and the soft chatter of morning markets. The air smelled of warm bread and dew, sunlight spilling through the branches to kiss the roofs of small cottages. Mistwood was a peaceful haven, untouched by the politics of packs or the bloodshed of territorial wars.In a cottage near the river, Aria Hale stirred a pot of herbs that filled the room with the gentle scent of chamomile and mint. Steam curled around her face as she crushed dried petals with steady hands. Healing had become her second nature—not just for those who sought her help, but for herself. Each day she gathered peace from the fragments of a past she no longer spoke of.From the next room came the sound of laughter—bright, wild, unguarded. A small boy burst into the kitchen, his golden eyes sparkling with mischief.“Mother, look!” he cried, holding up a crooked crown of flowers.Aria turned, her heart softening. Liam was the center of her world, her secret and

Chapter: The Night of RejectionThe full moon hung low over the Silver Crest Pack, spilling silver light across the courtyard like a silent witness. The air was heavy with pine and cold iron, thick with anticipation and something ancient that prickled against the skin. Somewhere in the forest, a lone wolf howled, its voice a mournful echo of what was about to be lost. The pack stood in absolute stillness. Warriors, elders, and omegas—all watching their Alpha with a reverence laced with fear. Alpha Kael Blackthorn stood at the center of it all, tall and unyielding, his dark hair gleaming under the sacred light. His golden eyes burned with power, but beneath that steady exterior, a storm raged. His wolf strained at its cage, restless and furious, but Kael’s expression remained carved from stone. Tonight, the Moon Goddess had bound him to fate—and he had sworn to defy it. At the edge of the courtyard stood Aria Hale. The moonlight seemed drawn to her, wrapping around her like a veil of grace. Her ceremonial gown sh
